Revenant

 I walk this road 

A vagrant

My soul an empty hovel

I push through life

Trod, spit and howl

The aberrant.

So blind, so weak,

So fucking helpless

I am still breathing 

Still in your face,

I am relentless!

I am the power

To inspire, and devour you.

You! Wake me up,

You! Break my dreams

Stay, fucking drop

Pray, duck, cover

As you hear my screams

As I crush your hopes

Block, tackle, cower!

I run to the acidic sordid end

Escape is not an option

Fear smug and ugly,

Still my friend,

And still I face 

And still I stand 

I am immutable 

Full of intent.

Fists in the air

Breaking trends,

Scene, cut, dead end.
